Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is excited about the midfield partnership of Cesc Fabregas and Abou Diaby.
Fabregas is expected to be on the sidelines for a couple of weeks after a suspected reoccurrence of his hamstring strain when sprinting the length of the pitch to net a crucial second goal in the 3-0 win over Aston Villa at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
French midfielder Diaby netted a fine third during stoppage time with a powerful run and fine finish.
Wenger feels the 23-year-old - who has battled back from a broken ankle during May 2006 - has grown in stature.
"Since the beginning of the season, I have always played him when I have the opportunity," the Arsenal manager said.
"He looks to grow, with his touch and now he is dominating the fight.
"What is very interesting in this formation is that in Fabregas and Diaby, you have not one but two players who are good runners, can come out from deep and score goals."
